    Pad Thai lunch special
    Susan R.

    Excellent service at this family owned small business. I've been going here since they opened and service is consistently impeccable. The food is delish whether you stay or take-out. Businesses owners are always there and tale huge pride in their service and delivery. Thank you Ditmars Thai! We love your lunch specials and the fact that the specials run through 4pm! We ordered Pork Pad Thai and Chicken Pad See Ew lunch specials with both spring rolls and chicken dumplings as apps. I opted for the spicy pad see ew and let me tell you my mouth was literally on FIRE!! be careful what you ask for here because you just may get it! LOL Definitely please stop by and support them. Lunch specials run at $12.99 and it's the perfect portion! Cheers to good eats, always!

    Small little spot. Nothing really spectacular in terms of decor or service. But the food was great and loved the portion size. Pricing is also good. Not pictured is the Tom Kha soup which was delicious! I however wish I had the option to select a different protein for it.

    I can't believe this place doesn't have more reviews! It's in a busy location, but this place needs more exposure. The food here was DELICIOUS! Authentic Thai cuisine! The restaurant isn't big, but you won't have an issue with seating. The owner was there and served us, very attentive and prompt. I wouldn't drive here, parking is scarce. Take the train, Uber, or walk. This is a great place for lunch or a cozy low key dinner. I recommend the drunken noodles and the chicken pops! Pricing is great as well.

    I've been wanting to try Thai Food for the longest time and finally got a chance. I've been eyeing this restaurant since I went to the Thirsty Koala since it was across the street. There was no one in the restaurant it could've been because of the rain or a whole host of reasons. But the other surrounding restaurants had a load of people. We walk-in and was told that we can sit anywhere. Since I was hungry we just ordered straight away. I usually order noodles from Thai places like the Drunken Noodles which are stir fried flat noodles with chili sauce, egg, onion, bell pepper and basil (you can add whatever meat to it). My friend ordered a noodle dish too, I don't quite remember which one it was just that it wasn't spicy. I wanted it really spicy and they didn't deliver, so I asked for hot sauce and that helped me get the spice level that I was asking for. Anyways, I probably won't be returning as this place was just average for service + food. Tons of other Thai food places all over to order from if in the mood.

    Favorite Thai in the area! Tasty and well portioned whether dining in or taking out. Excellent service. Simple, relaxed ambiance.

    The food here is amazing! Our server (didn't get his name) but he was very attentive, his hospitality was appreciated. From the photos I thought the restaurant was big, it's actually very cozy and not loud at all, perfect for a date or just a lunch/dinner night out. I will definitely go back.

    This is the restaurant my partner have been to the most since moving to Astoria a year ago. The owner David is from Thailand and moved here decades ago, but clearly still remembers how to cook great Thai food. Well, I think it's his wife or another employee that cooks it, but it's great. He opened in 2020 with his wife and we started coming soon after. We will often come for the lunch special which I believe is between 12-4, which is a spring roll, dumpling, or soda if you ask. If the weather is nice and you ask David will open the door / window for a nice breeze. It's always been relaxing with the music at a relaxing volume. If you want more or less sauce they can adjust it, we like the pad Thai with more sauce, but you can get it drier as well. We often have the pad Thai and drunken noodles, but I've liked pretty much everything. We also sometimes get the Thai iced tea, and love the chicken wings (of all things). David is friendly and the food is ready fast. We still mask in 2022, but there usually aren't many people here, (perhaps because it's kind of new?), so we eat inside here, about the only place I do that in. Hopefully, for their sake, it gets busier. Try it out, we've liked it, and thought that after two years of coming here I should leave a review. I ate the food too fast before thinking of taking a photo.

There were some things we enjoyed, but overall we left feeling that the quality and portions didn't justify the prices. We ordered the chicken curry puffs first. They were much sweeter than I'm used to, and instead of the traditional cucumber relish, they were served with plum sauce. It wasn't terrible, just not what I expected. The roti with Massaman curry had good flavor, but the curry was so thin that it had the consistency of soup rather than a rich curry. It also came without any potatoes, carrots, or onions. I wasn't expecting meat, but I did expect a more traditional Massaman curry. The grilled beef (nuea yang) was cooked well and very tender, but the beef itself was lacking seasoning. Thankfully, the dipping sauces added some flavor. The beef short rib khao soi was another dish that felt underwhelming. The short rib was excellent--fall-off-the-bone tender--but the curry broth itself tasted too light. I personally think it needed more curry paste and more depth of flavor, especially for a dish that's around $40. The biggest disappointment was the kua kling chicken and the Hat Yai fried chicken. Both portions were surprisingly small considering the price. That's where I really felt the value wasn't there. Unfortunately, the service didn't help either. It wasn't rude, but it felt inattentive and lacked the warmth and hospitality I usually associate with Thai restaurants. I always want to support fellow Thai-owned businesses, so writing this review honestly makes me sad. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from trying the restaurant--this is simply my family's experience. Everyone has different tastes, and yours may be completely different from ours. For us, though, the combination of light flavors, small portions, and lackluster service left us disappointed, especially for a birthday dinner.

The restaurant is a few blocks from the main street of Steinway so it'll take a bit of searching. Going inside, the area is rather abstract. Pink flower wallpaper on one end and dry wall on the other, it's kinda off-putting but I didn't come here for the atmosphere anyway. Service was lukewarm, I got my order in but the two workers inside weren't too receptive and the menu itself is kinda barebones with most of their food being a bit more than I would like to pay for so I just settled on one order of Singapore Mei Fun. After waiting 10 minutes for my food to arrive, the Singapore noodles which are usually spicy were kinda salty but it was nothing a bit of duck sauce wouldn't fix. This one order cost $17 while not the worst Singapore Mei Fun...well technically it is, even though it's not horrible but I've had much better from other places for a stable price of $12.

The dandan noodles my friend ordered were maybe my favorite, they were the perfect level of spicy and so flavorful without being overwhelming. I'd go back just for my own plate of those. The service was quite fast, and it's a cute little shop that feels like a small town Chinese restaurant. Very reasonably priced as well. Some of my favorite Chinese food I've found outside of Lower Manhattan !
